“Think of all the people who have it worse than you.” That’s the worst bit of advice you can receive when experiencing self-doubt or failure. What’s the point of thinking about all the sadness in the world when one is already demotivated? Instead, jot down all the things you’re grateful for. In today’s world, where successes are flaunted and failure isn’t given enough importance, it’s vital to celebrate the littlest wins and be grateful for the littlest things. Start with writing down 3 things you’re grateful for every day. At first, you’ll be grateful for the more obvious things in life. But over time, you’ll start noticing the little things. Indulged in your favourite ice cream? Sounds decadent! Watched your favourite show for the 16th time? Dopamine hit! That morning coffee that made you feel human and kickstarted your day? That’s magic in a cup! When you take a minute to appreciate how much you have and what you have achieved, you feel empowered. That’s when you’ll start being happier with who you are and start accepting and loving yourself. Starting today, love yourself a little more. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sumanagarwal #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #counsellor #professionalimage #gogently #positivevibes #selflove #selflovejourney #selflovetips #selfloving #putyourselffirst #dreambigdreams #dreamitanddoit #dreamsmatter #beeasyonyourself #selfloveisthebestlove #selfgrowth #positivemindset #focusonyourself #remindertoself #beproudofyourself #knowyourworth #nonegativeselftalk #selfworth #lovethatjourneyforme #begrateful #gratitude #gratitudejournaling #gratitudejourney
Ignite The Light 🌕 We are sitting in the energy of Wesak which I first became aware of when studying esoteric healing with Marion Leigh in Findhorn Scotland in 2010. Wesak is a sacred time and one of the most important Buddhist festivals which is celebrated throughout the world bringing in light. As I bathed in the energy of the full moon last evening, I gave thanks for the enlightenment, the awakening and the many blessings I received in those two years at Findhorn and the connections forged through this experience of opening, growth and renewal. Healing is the process of becoming whole and when we feel whole, we are in touch with the whole world.

Wenn ich spüre, wie die Anspannung meinem Körper verlässt, weiß ich, dass ich die richtige Entscheidung getroffen habe. Unser Körper zeigt uns den Weg und unser Körper macht für uns das wahr, was wir haben wollen. So schwierig eine Situation auch sein mag, es gibt einen Weg und der heißt: "Ich entscheide mich." Jede Wahl ist besser, als keine Wahl zu treffen. Welche Entscheidungen stehen bei dir heute an?

Yummy time! Eating well for #perimenopause and #menopause doesn't mean cutting out treats. It just means making a change to those you choose 💫 I make raw brownies every other week, dates, agave, cocoa powder, almonds, and these ones have chia and flak seeds in too, inspired by Rachel @naturopathherbalist sharing her amazing tips and advice on @sallyparkesyogaschool MenoYoga training 😀 Simple, tasty, beneficial, and the perfect time to eat them? At the end of your meal 😋 These brownies were inspired by an original recipe by @we_are_food, who if you love food, you have to check Anna out, she's amazing 👏 Perimenopause is a journey. It can be really hard, so be kind to yourself. Remember to nourish yourself as much as you can, with rest, good food, and time to move through this transformative period❤️🔥 Hugs 🫂 I run a mini tribe of menopause yogi's every Thursday morning @saltdeanlido We spend an hour and a half together, sharing how we're doing, how our journeys to a "new" us as going. The ups, the downs, and everything in between. We suppose this journey with books to guide us, essential oils to support us, and a yoga practice to suit our mood and needs. It's a little slice of heaven each week on your journey through Perimenopause.

Green Lights on my Way... Das war definitiv nicht immer so in meinem Leben. Als ich meine Suche begann, ganz am Anfang meiner Reise, auf der Suche nach mir S•E•L•B•S•T, hatte ich wirklich keine Vorstellung, was ich alles finden würde. Klar war, ich musste losgehen und klar war auch, dass ich bereit sein musste, einiges zurückzulassen. Heute bin ich an einem Punkt der Landkarte meines Lebens angelangt, an dem ich rückblickend sagen kann, es ging auf meinem Erkennungsweg um weitaus mehr, als ich mir in meinen kühnsten Träumen hätte vorstellen können. Ich habe in mir einen unermesslichen Schatz gefunden. Und ich habe außerdem erkannt, dass es gar nicht mehr braucht. Es braucht einfach nicht mehr. Nur mich. Ich zu sein. Mein wahres Ich. Es lohnt sich loszugehen. Immer. Geh. Für. Dich. Alles in Liebe Mel. 💜 PS: Kennst du schon meine Masterclass🤩👇 ✨️H.O.N.E.Y. 🐝 F.L.O.W.✨️ Receiving PROSPERITY ?

Apart from being lessons in disguise, mistakes make us more resilient, teach us how to face failure, and make room for objectivity. If anything, they help us make more grounded decisions and often open doors to new opportunities. But more than that, mistakes teach us self-love and self-acceptance. So the next time you fail, accept your mistake, find out the underlying reason, work on it, learn, and grow. Allowing yourself to make mistakes is the best way to avoid making them. . . . . . . . . . . . . #sumanagarwal #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #counsellor #professionalimage #positivevibes #selflove #selflovejourney #selflovetips #selfloving #putyourselffirst #dreambigdreams #dreamitanddoit #dreamsmatter #beeasyonyourself #selfloveisthebestlove #selfgrowth #positivemindset #focusonyourself #remindertoself #beproudofyourself #knowyourworth #nonegativeselftalk #selfworth #lovethatjourneyforme #forgiveyourself #gogently #bekindtoyourself

Have you ever reached a milestone in your business, only to find yourself reaching for the next one right away? As business owners, we're driven by dreams and a desire to push ourselves. But in that constant pursuit, we forget to take a moment and celebrate how far we've come … Recently, I had a conversation with Rebecca, the founder of The Champagne Lounge and she shared how important it is to celebrate victories, big or small, along the way. Rebecca's goal-setting method is both creative and inspiring. She keeps a case of champagne, each bottle adorned with a sticky note that holds a goal. It could be landing that dream client, taking a well-deserved vacation, or reaching a financial milestone. These bottles become more than just celebratory drinks; they're a tangible reminder of the journey and the incredible progress she's made. I just want to remind you that there's a power in creating a ritual – a deliberate act that adds weight and significance to a moment. Popping open a bottle, raising a toast – these become rituals that mark your achievements. But the beauty lies in finding what works for you. Maybe champagne isn't your style. Perhaps it's a fancy dinner, a weekend getaway, or simply a handwritten note to yourself acknowledging your success. So, take a deep breath and give yourself some credit. Find your own celebratory ritual, and start acknowledging the incredible road you're on! Go well and go gently with yourself and remember If you thrive your business will too!

Our dreams give us hope and the drive to keep going. They make us confident. They help us face our fears, give us the courage to traverse the roads less travelled, and a sense of purpose. Dreams define us. If dreams are the final destination, then patience, perseverance, and hard work should be your chosen vehicles of travel. It does take time for your dreams to become a reality. But it’s all worth it in the end. So dream big, focus, and make them happen. Remember - “Dreams don’t work unless you do.” - John C. Maxwell . . . . . . . . . . #sumanagarwal #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #counsellor #professionalimage #gogently #positivevibes #selflove #selflovejourney #selflovetips #selfloving #putyourselffirst #dreambigdreams #dreamitanddoit #dreamsmatter #beeasyonyourself #selfloveisthebestlove #selfgrowth #positivemindset #focusonyourself #remindertoself #beproudofyourself #knowyourworth #nonegativeselftalk #selfworth #lovethatjourneyforme

A common misconception when setting goals is the assumption that they’ll be achieved easily and quickly. But in truth, goals aren’t achieved overnight. It’s important to focus on the journey just as much as the destination. In a society where constantly moving forward and achieving the next thing is revered, we often forget to stop and celebrate our wins. All big goals are possible because of the little steps you take along the way towards achieving them. Celebrating victories, no matter how small, strengthens your belief in yourself and motivates you to keep going onward. You cannot bring your 100% to the table every time. Sometimes, a 25% is still a win. So it’s important to celebrate ALL your wins (no matter how small). Because otherwise the struggle so much harder. . . . . . . . . . . . . #sumanagarwal #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #counsellor #professionalimage #gogently #positivevibes #selflove #selflovejourney #selflovetips #mindfulliving #selfloving #putyourselffirst #celebrateyou #allwinsmatter #beeasyonyourself #selfloveisthebestlove #selfgrowth #positivemindset #focusonyourself #remindertoself #impostersyndrome #beproudofyourself #knowyourworth #nonegativeselftalk #metacongnition #selfworth #lovethatjourneyforme
Heavenly Birthday 🥂 May 18th is my mums birthday and although it’s 25 years since her sudden death, it’s still her birthday filled to bursting with countless memories of celebration. Jean loved a party and if she taught me one thing, it was to live in the moment, to enjoy life. When a parent dies, life is never the same, it cannot be, yet these people must leave us at some point. This we know, yet frequently deny to our detriment when the time comes. I am grateful that both my parents were alive until I was fully grown and a parent myself. They knew my children, although Meg was a tiny babe when mum died. I have these memories safely tucked in my heart and no matter what, the love we shared will last forever, it must, because love never dies.

Remember the pang of envy you felt as a kid, eyeing someone else’s toy? Today’s “hustle” mentality makes that feeling normal. Growing up, we’ve all caught ourselves admiring what others have. Comparison has somewhat been normalised in today’s hustle culture. We look at what others have achieved, where they are now, and want it for ourselves, completely disregarding their journey and struggles. Comparisons are harmful to our sense of self and only make us unhappy. What’s important to remember is that everyone has their own clocks and everything happens at its pace. The only thing you can be better at than anyone else is being yourself. Instead of focusing on where you stand with regard to others, put that energy into improving what you already know how to do best. Mark Twain once said, “Comparison is the death of joy,” and rightly so. Healthy comparisons and competition is encouraged, but when you begin to devalue yourself is when you need to stop and turn the focus inward. . . . . . . . . . . #sumanagarwal #selflove #selfloving #selflovefirst #selflovejourney #selfloveisthebestlove #selflovequotes #healingjourney #gogently #beeasyonyourself #selfgrowth #focusonyourself #focusonyourself #positivevibes #remindertoself

When we perceive something as a threat, whether it's real or not –our nervous system reacts accordingly. When we're in a state of threat-based drive, our decisions are often motivated by the need to ease our immediate discomfort. We're focused on reducing anxiety or anger in the moment, rather than considering the long-term impact on our businesses. It's a survival instinct, but it's not always beneficial in the grand scheme of things. So, how can we make more mindful decisions? Ask yourself... What's motivating this decision? Is it aligned with my values and goals? Sometimes, the answer will be yes, and other times, it might be driven by fear or anxiety. And that's okay, we're all human. It's important to recognise when we're in a state of threat-based drive and acknowledge that our decisions might not be coming from a place of clarity. This is where giving ourselves time and space to calm our nervous system becomes crucial. By slowing down, grounding ourselves, and tapping into our inner wisdom, we can make decisions that serve us and our businesses well. Give yourself the compassion and space you need to make decisions that align with your values and lead to long-term success.

It's week 2 of Rest Fest at Mindarma. One simple yet powerful self-compassion practise is giving ourselves permission to go gently, move a bit more slowly, take the pressure off the pedal. This can have a very supportive and soothing impact on our nervous system, promoting wellbeing, groundedness and mental clarity. This week we will be exploring simple self-care and compassion strategies that nourish and support the nervous system and our physical bodies. #wellbeing #mentalhealth #selfcompassion #restfest #nourish #selfcare #nurture #slowdown #breathe #mentalhealthmatters #gogently #mindarma

The past few days I rediscovered a massive box of notebooks and journals I’ve kept over the years. It’s the first time I’ve really sat down and read through them all consecutively and something really struck me about how our evolution unfolds, especially when we’re on any kind of spiritual/healing path but it can absolutely be brought out into the macro of the human experience in general. The first thing that stood out is that we’re all a bit derpy. A bit cringe, bless our little cotton socks. We know what we know until we know a higher truth. So much of my experience of re-living moments through these journals came with a rolling tide of first a little bit of ‘oh gawddd’ and then compassion. For myself, for others. For the human experience, for the world. We are in insanely polarising times. Since that utterly grief stricken, fury inducing series of events from 2020 hit, this has only increased. It would be wise for us to take a beat here and touch back in with our younger and yes, perhaps a little less wise selves to access this compassion. We all, each and every one of us, fully put our weight behind things we may now look back on with a little bit of sheepishness, a little ‘ooops, that wasn’t it at ALL, bless’ and realise that everyone is evolving. Something you believe so vehemently in in this moment, something that may be polarising you in opposition to a person, a group, may not hold the weight it does now a few years down the track with a little more life and wisdom at your back.

Moments of joy where I have found gratitude amongst the chaos. Between my own health struggles and the declining health of my mum and Nanny, it's been a challenging time if I'm honest. Admin has been neglected at best and I've been fighting burn out hard. My friends, family and colleagues have fought hard to keep me connected and supported and I am so so grateful. Work "progress" has been on pause whilst I have been figuring it all out and remembering how to float. Trying not to measure myself by project contracts and invoices and instead try to focus on times I have found my breath again and followed my instinct to flow through it all. In true social media fashion- I have only shared the good bits because let's be honest, taking a photo or a video is never quite appropriate when you spend inordinate amounts of time in Dr's appointments and hospital wards... #keepgoing #gogently

For any other sensitive folk out there 🙋🏻♀️ this week’s solar storms that culminate this weekend can leave many of us feeling really wiped out, or with lots of emotions bubbling up. So if you’re feeling similarly affected and energy levels or emotions feel a bit chaotic, upping the self care, hydration and rest can help you navigate this potent energy. On the flipside it is also supposed to be a powerful time for downloads, manifestations and visualisation according to @alex.myles who shares a lot of interesting content on this phenomena. These solar storms which are the most powerful we’ve experienced in 20 years also created the most magical aurora borealis sightings last night that everyone but me seemed to see! #solarstorm #auroraborealis #hsp #highlysensitiveperson #gogently #rest #replenish #fomo

I thought I would share some wise words from Julia Samuels from Louise Newson’s latest menopause book. I think it sums up our last session at our menopause group last night where we reflected on the past 4 weeks together, and also talked about the importance of reducing stress ❤️ … I think this sums up so much of what was said .. the importance of gentle acceptance .. finding your own way .. and the power of the breath and connection.. ❤️ if you are on your own menopause journey please be gentle with yourself and please don’t be alone.. with a little gentle intention and the help of others you really can feel so much better .. #menopause #gogently #connection #breath #healthcoaching leamington_spa

We often think motivation magically appears before we start something new. But guess what? Action comes first! Taking that small step, even when you don't feel like it, can spark the motivation to keep going. Maybe you start working on a project you've been thinking about for a while. The more you do, the more you want to finish it! Or, maybe you feel stuck on something creative. You go for a walk, and Voila! New ideas pop into your head! Sometimes we just gotta do the thing, even if we don't feel motivated. Remember: You are capable of amazing things! What small step can you take today to move towards your goals? Go well and go gently with yourself And remember If you thrive your business will too!

You can have more energy for the things in life that matter to you like family, friends, outside interests. You can stop feeling pulled in all directions and overstretching yourself. You can gain back that zest for life that you used to have and you can build a successful business you love… Or fall back in love with the one you have, knowing that you’re taking care of your own well-being too. And who doesn’t want that! I know, because I went through it myself. To improve your self-relationship, practice self-awareness. Regularly check in with yourself, identify your needs, and take care of them with compassion. Have a think about what would be helpful for you right now?

Out On A Limb I grew up feeling an outsider in my own family. Reading Out On A Limb by Shirley MacLaine while travelling over thirty years ago was revelatory, it changed my life and set me on a completely different trajectory!! Rereading this today I understand why.... Somewhere on the planet at all times there was war, violence, crime, oppression, dictatorship and genocide - a global spectacle of human desperation and misery. Meanwhile leaders world wide continued to examine the problems solely in terms of the problems themselves, without recognising their true relationship to a larger and more universal necessity- the deep seated need to achieve an enduringly peaceful state of mind on an individual basis with all the broad implications that this would entail. They had temporary solutions for permanent problems, or as dad would say “ “they are putting band aids on cancer.” - Shirley MacLaine Go gently - Vicki ❤️❤️ #vickimarstonselfdevelopment #vickimarston #selfdevelopmentleicester #outonalimb #ShirleyMacLaine #peaceofmind #mindwatching #healyourlife #innerhealingjourney #gogently #InsightfulReads #booksthatchangedmylife #promotingwellness #BeWellStayWell #wordshavepower #WellnessJourney #WellnessWeekend #awakeningconsciousness #Awakening2024 #healingwords
Working from home has its perks, but maintaining a healthy work-life blend can be a challenge. It can be helpful to choose a spot in your home where you can focus when it's time to work and then leave so you can relax when work is over. This physical separation helps your brain switch gears. It's not just about the physical space – it's also about how you mentally transition between work and home life. Spending too much time in front of your computer blurs the lines, making it hard to unwind. That's where symbolism can be really helpful. Try simple rituals or visualisation techniques to signal the end of your workday. For example, imagine closing a mental door on work tasks or take a few deep breaths to shift your focus. Find what helps you switch off and recharge. Finding a blend that suits you takes time. Experiment with different strategies until you find what works best for you. Your well-being is worth prioritising! Go well and go gently with yourself and remember If you thrive your business will too!

You were made to move. Your body loves it 🌸 & I know in certain seasons, movement can be challenging. I have a history of chronic issues with my health, and lately I’ve been hit like so many of you with a little viral season. I know how challenging it can be when we are up against energy issues to include movement. When we are in seasons of motherhood, the juggle, fatigue, winter, poor health, pain, survival. But movement truly is our friend, and I hope it is part of your body support strategy ~ both for your physical and emotional health. I was talking to my incredible Pilates teacher and friend @kathrynreevespilates last week about recovery and movement. 🌸 and just how much I love Pilates for this. True Pilates. I love it for women’s health and it’s truly been a gift for me and my body - wherever we find ourselves 🩷 True Pilates (the type we practice together), was created specifically for this ~ for recovery. It’s why I love this style of movement for women; whether you find yourself navigating something chronic, returning to exercise, managing a hormone condition, pregnancy and postpartum, menopause, pain issues or injuries, post surgery; or simply wanting to meet your body where it is at and still be able to move. It’s gentle, it can be adapted, it meets the body where it is at and if you have a teacher like mine @kathrynreevespilates it’s truly truly been a gift. I was in lots of pain last week following a little bout of viral load. My body was so sore, inflamed & tight and my energy was low. I knew I needed to include movement but wanted to do it in a way that supported my body & energy and didn’t take away from it. True Pilates has supported me in this way for many years. It’s supported my healing, my fascia, my emotional & physical body. It’s opened me and held me in so many ways. Slow, controlled, gentle, connecting & supportive (& a bloody burn in the seasons when my body is able ☺️❤️🔥) 💘 I recommend this style of movement to all women, as I truly believe it to be magical & supportive for our bodies and health. Not all Pilates is the same. I trust these women with my life; @kathrynreevespilates @heilenaus 💘💖🌸 x
Go Gently ~ for S. 🐾💔 My first post in nearly a month, during which I’ve barely touched my art. Seemingly out of the blue, our beautiful girl S. was struck with an aggressive lymphoma, diagnosed only 3 weeks ago. We said goodbye to her this past week. And so April was particularly cruel this year, and I am devastated. Soon after her diagnosis, I worked to create what I hoped would be a special photo, while she was still able to do so. In hindsight, I’m so grateful that I didn’t wait too long (swipe to see the result, created by S., my spouse, and me). As for painting, I’d like to reconnect with my art, but… all in good time, I suppose. . . . . . . . #worldwatercolorgroup #modernwatercolor #atmosphericwatercolor #inspiredbynature #abstractwatercolor #fantasysky #watercolorskies #watercolourskies #skypaintings #skyjournal #paintthesky #abstractsky #abstractwatercolor #dreamscape #creativeselfcare #artforwellbeing #intuitiveart #artismagic #fineart_creators #intuitivepainting #cloudscape #cloudscapes #skyscape #abstractlandscape #abstractlandscapes #abstractseascape #abstractwatercolor #inmemorium #gogently #donotstandatmygraveandweep

No, you’re not imagining it, I feel it too - the constant noise, demands and pressures of day to day life leaving us disconnected and exhausted at times 😩 Life is busy and so many of you are telling me you feel you’ve lost touch with yourselves in the chaos of it all. So if it’s of comfort, you’re not alone! ❤️ But what I have found to be of help is small safe places of community, breathwork and friendship. Those spaces where I can reconnect, not just with those I’m with, but back to myself. Back to balance, authenticity and peace. It’s those spaces that I know I need to carve out more moments for - moments with the breath to create stillness in the chaos, moments of community to reassure us we’re not alone, moments of safely being our whole true self through friendship, even if we can’t physically be together. 🕊️ There’s hope to be found in small spaces. Portia x 🌬️Breathe with me and find space.

Just a little reminder you're doing your best and that's enough (and it's going to be okay) It's okay to have those moments of doubt, but trust me, everything's going to be okay. Keep showing up, keep believing, and above all, keep trusting in yourself. Go gently today. #youredoingyourbest #keepshowingup #trustyourself #gogently
Sometimes, when our soothing system isn't as strong as it could be, our drive system kicks in to manage our stress. Sounds good, right? It can be – at first. For example, let's say you're feeling anxious about your business. Maybe you've had some setbacks, like cancellations or bills to pay. Your drive system kicks into high gear, and suddenly you're brainstorming ideas and tackling tasks like a pro. You're not feeling as anxious anymore – you're feeling driven to solve the problem. But here's the catch: if what you're doing isn't bringing immediate results, you might end up feeling even more stressed. You're working harder, but things aren't getting better. Now, you're stuck in a cycle of bouncing between drive and threat, feeling anxious and self-critical. So, what's the solution? Instead of getting caught in this cycle, it's important to engage our soothing system. This means finding ways to calm our nervous system and make decisions that are truly helpful. Take a break and go for a walk to gain perspective and clear your mind. Reach out to someone for support and compassion – sometimes, just knowing that you're not alone can make all the difference. Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take time to care for yourself, especially when things feel overwhelming. Want to work together & create a thriving business? DM Start to discuss your goals!

“Go gently” whispered Heart of Yesterday, “go gently but with courage.” And she gave Heart of Today a warm, reassuring hug. “Go peacefully but with purpose, go calmly but be heard, go cautiously but take little risks from time to time. Go wildly, freely, joyfully, and with your everlasting love. Go carefully but with trust, go with your questions but also acceptance. Go with clarity but drift into wonderful daydreams. Go happily, serenely, harmoniously, and with your everlasting hope. But most of all, go fully. Go fully into every moment. Give, give and give! And I promise it will all be returned to you, over and over and over. Supersized! I promise.” And as Heart of Yesterday faded a little, into the background, the past, and those days, Heart of Today felt such warmth and reassurance from their hug, and knew she was ready. More than ready! And so gently, but with courage, she did go…….... #bleedinghearts #gogently #courage #bravely #heartflower #hearts #twohearts #heartofyesterday #heartoftoday #todayful #ramblingheart #flowerlovers #flowergram #inmygarden #everlasting #love #hope #clarity #go #warmheart #gentleness #reassuring #myphotography #creativewriting #amwriting #give

We just returned home from our adventures and it was such a delight to see a sweet note from our friends at @campovida 8 years. 3 children. A continent away. We love our Florida lives but there are pieces of California that still tug me back, make me long for rolling fog and sweet, dry lavender in sunshine. This amazing place and, moreso, the amazing people who own and run it have a tether on my heart. So many memories of this thoughtful space from celebrations to much needed retreats. Thank you for thinking of us, friends. #happyanniversary #loveliveshere #gogently
Looking through Instagram this morning was a real downer. I don’t watch news because it makes me sad and anxious so I get my updates from social media. But this morning (and for a while now) there is just too much sadness. No one has happy news. The world is sad. Domestic violence, Palestine, our poor native environment it just seems so bleak at the moment. It made me go searching to find an image to share that might help you to feel uplifted. We all need a little pep up every now and again. I hope you have someone in your world who can do that for you. But also know that my little corner of the world (shops and insta) are here for a bit of respite and comfort. Go gently and I hope your week ends with some happy news ❤️ #hernamewasnola #morganharpernichols #instainspo #designcomfortshome #bekind #gogently

A little autumn colour for your Monday! On Saturday we hosted our VERY LAST workshop for the season and on Sunday we waltzed around the property in our pyjamas just because we could. It's been a huge season of u-pickers, events, workshops, jam making, goat cheese, ducklings, flowers, puppies, apples berries apples berries, apple cider doughnuts, raspberry sorbet, goat soap, exhibitions, book talks school groups and garden tours. 5 months of beautiful people, bountiful good and soooo much learning. We're bunkering down now and taking some r n r until we lift this year's nursery trees in June ready to pay all over the countryside. Our term four schools program bookings are now open and its filling fast so sing out if you're keen to bring kiddos to the farm this year. We will load our spring workshops by the end of June so keep an eye out for that (including weaving, grafting, wicking beds, goat cheese and goat soap making + others) of course if you have a group of 5 or more and are eager for your own event then let us know. Enjoy these glorious autumnal days folks. I'm off to walk the paddock in my jammies with a cuppa.
CHOICES Do you know there is no such thing as making the wrong choice ? We are faced with 1000s of decisions to make every.single.day . We make the BEST decision for us , at the given moment with the resources we have . In time we may look back and say we made the wrong / bad choice . NOT TRUE you was lead to that place by the choice you made because there was something you needed to learn there . Nothing is ever wrong just a lesson Some things will keep showing up , until the lesson is learnt . So if you are currently feeling the feels because of a CHOICE you made … Cut yourself some slack Look at it from every angle to see the lesson and get ready to move on . Don’t waste your beautiful energy wondering about the WHY’S , get planning for the next adventure . If you always choose YOU for every CHOICE you make , you’ll get to where you need to go But know that sometimes we need to go on a diversion to pick up another lesson on the way . Always All Ways Look After You Xx #choices #chooseyou #learninglessonseveryday #gogently #feelingthefeels #holistichealth #itsallenergybaby #healthandhealingexpo #lookafteryou @arocahealingcentre
What if life wasn't about pushing away negativity, but making space for it? Rikke discovered a powerful approach called ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) that changed everything. Here's the key: 1. Stop wrestling with difficult emotions. Let them be there, and focus on what truly matters to you. 2. Don't just survive hardship, navigate it with purpose. Ask yourself: "Who do I want to be in this situation?" Rikke used this approach to transform a painful divorce: Instead of getting angry at her ex, she focused on being the kind of parent she wanted to be. This ultimately led to a healthier co-parenting relationship, benefiting their entire family. This story is a powerful reminder: You have the power to choose who you want to be, even amidst challenges. Rikke's story of overcoming challenges is truly inspiring!
